Rebel28 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 After update shortcut will not work. There is no Run.exe in the base folder. Game will launch from the update.exe.

crazyeddie Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Similar issue, the exe was invalid it said and I only had the option to delete it, which I did, I am using the exe from the bin folder.

Art-J Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 The only execs DCS uses to launch, are dcs.exe and dcs_updater.exe. They should be there in BIN folder, and if they aren't, in usually means either windows defender, or any other antivirus moved them to quarantine. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

DCS_updater.exe throws an error, and DCS.Exe stays on Black screen (does not load)
TWC_SLAG Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe I found mine in the above. How/why it is there, I have no clue. That's not where it is in the Updater.

peterwinship Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Same problem right after updating to .45317. Run.exe disappeared form base folder. Can run it no probs from apps in the bin folder, but still, it's a bug, I assume.
Art-J Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe I found mine in the above. How/why it is there, I have no clue. That's not where it is in the Updater. It's always been there, though, together with DCS_Updater.exe. That's their correct location, at least in webshop DCS version, although I think Steam version should be the same. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Worrazen Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) 2.5.6 upgraded a lot of the engine components, many dlls don't exist anymore and some are new, the old protection is also removed completely that's why you will not see dcs_protect.dll, a10_protect.dll, CombinedArms_protect.dll, and fc3_protect.dll, which is great because these things caused constant spikes on CPU, but not on the main thread so normally wasn't noticable.

That's their correct location, at least in webshop DCS version, although I think Steam version should be the same. So, would it be OK to move or copy the exe file to where I have always seen it in the Open Beta folder?

peterwinship Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I wouldn't copy it. Just put a shortcut in your main folder. You know how to make a shortcut?
TWC_SLAG Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 I wouldn't copy it. Just put a shortcut in your main folder. You know how to make a shortcut? Of course. I had already done that. But, that gives you a folder icon, rather than a DCS icon.

TWC_SLAG Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 we removed the file. Then what happened? You now have no way to open DCS?

ED Team c0ff Posted March 30, 2020 ED Team Posted March 30, 2020 Then what happened? You now have no way to open DCS? Run.exe was never the way to open DCS. Or was it (old installers may be)? It was only for Steam to automatically choose 32/64 bit binaries. Official shortcuts point to bin/DCS_updater.exe But you may also use bin/DCS.exe directly if you don't want automatic updates.
